And this needs to be highlighted. And the ways it can be addressed.

Yes Linda, thanks for mentioning.

We have proven many times this CAN be addressed. Name them, boycott, and call out the management. The CEO decision making is primary fault..America CAN ( and I repeat HAS shown the upper leadership by UNITING and boycotting).

The ‘doing it for the shareholders ‘ got to stop…this is misinformation at its highest level. As a nation we WANT to work for the whole..that’s what equality/leveling the playing field means.

People ARE seeing this more clearly…profits can still be a goal but commensurate with consistent. As we invent better ways to provide the ‘I costs’ to provide lower.

Research and development are costs built into any system . The truths of profit sharing are NOT buy backs nor the current CEO margins to worker wages - shareholders are the elite …do I need to explain any further?

The pie , the leveling is better divided , that’s real sharing, making ‘divided’ a good word , furthering a better world, and reverse this false set of values twisted for far too long. I have no objection to people getting wealthy but not by duping, dumbing, or ads saturating BS ,false claims, or deviant tactics ie known contaminants lead,nicotine,glycosphate ,polluting wastes, yada yada..

Yes we need to clean up our act. And that covers a lot of territory. We CAN be thankful for a stark 9 ? year lesson…what the clean up costs are never get started by bitchin’ , they start by acknowledging and elbow grease.

And it takes our village. Our gang 🫶

Boycotts can be useful, but hard to apply enough pressure against conglomerates that have huge market shares. Electing anti-trust minded officials is essential. We were winning that battle once, and were collectively bamboozled into throwing it away. We learned it twice, if you count crony tax favoritism for the East India Company that sparked the Boston Tea party.
